For this project, I decided to continue exploring textures and surface patterns on Clay using my previous watercolour drawings as a reference and trace them into lino.
Since I enjoy working with hand build Clay Forms and sculptural Items I want to use this project as an experimental exercise where I explore form shapes, research techniques and colours by designing and building different Shaped Vessels inspired in Organic Forms such sea barnacles, sea weeds and corals.
Botanical marine life series
As a child I wanted to be a marine biologist. While growing up, my dreams and ambitions changed but my passion for the sea remained and that has been reflected in most of my artwork. I don't think I´m going to follow this path for much longer, but for now I want to explore it, in the best way I can. Using Ernst Haeckel old botanical drawings of seaweed, shells, coral, etc. as inspiration I´ve been creating a series of water colour drawings. I think they work really well as final product.
Multitasking....thinking of:
Porcelain inlays
repetition
Video Editing
small plates
large plates
wall plates
spoons
